Porcelain Keys
“After picking up a rental car, we stopped at Nathaniel’s to have lunch. It was the first time he’d met Devin, and for some reason, Nathaniel seemed uneasy. As we went to leave, he stopped me in the doorway and put his hands on my shoulders, looking me in the eye.

“Okay, I will,” I said suspiciously, making a mental note to call him later to find out what he’d really wanted to say.
As we drove along the highway toward Woodland Park, I tried to prepare myself for a reunion with Dad. It had been a year and a half since I’d seen him, and until Vivian called a few months earlier, I’d avoided thinking of him.MoreLess
